The AirTAC Airtac SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD63X170 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 170mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its hard-anodized aluminum-profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and it shares SC-series mounting accessories.
The AirTAC SAUD63X170 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 170 mm stroke. A rod exits both ends, meaning both faces use the rod-side piston area. This yields exactly 1402 N of output force at 0.5 MPa in both directions, with no larger single-rod push value to confuse sizing. The extruded aluminium barrel keeps the unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
Because the rear rod protrudes, it can carry a switch cam or drive a second tool simultaneously. The 3/8 inch port matches the 63 mm bore specification. Without the -S magnet option, this specific SKU cannot accept magnetic sensors. For sizing, the 1402 N at 0.5 MPa translates to a safe working load of roughly 841 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 71 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Drives two synchronized forming tools from one piston, using the equal 1402 N force both ways to press and retract identical components.
Lifts approximately 71 kg payloads vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the dual rods to prevent platform twist during travel.
Pushes a part forward on one belt while simultaneously retracting a return flag on the opposite end using the protruding back rod.
Choose the 63 mm bore when your application demands exactly 1402 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 50 mm bore provides 825 N; for heavier loads, step up to the 80 mm bore rated at 2268 N. A double-rod design is the right call for anti-rotation guidance, twin-tool driving, or rear-cam actuation. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. At 170 mm stroke, side loads are moderate, but always use external guide rails to prevent binding. Note this non-magnet SKU cannot host sensors.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because a rod exits both ends. It delivers 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, and 2523 N at 0.9 MPa. The 3/8 inch port feeds both chambers equally.
No. The air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not lock the load. If air is lost, the piston drifts. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
